Summary

Revision endoscopic sinus surgery can effectively treat chronic sinusitis and polyps, with careful technique and preoperative CT scans reducing complications. This procedure offers benefits for sinonasal obstruction and adhesions, excluding nasal polyposis.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation

Context:

  • Chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps often require revision surgery when initial treatments fail.
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a common treatment, but recurrence necessitates revision procedures.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the indications, surgical landmarks, significance, complications, and avoidance strategies for revision ESS in chronic sinusitis and polyps.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of revision ESS using the Messerklinger technique.

Summary:

  • Revision ESS was performed on 112 patients with chronic sinusitis and polyps.
  • Success was achieved in 89 cases; 17 were unresolved, and 6 failed.
  • Complications included cerebrospinal fistula (1), orbital hematoma (4), increased tearing (3), and bleeding (6).

Impact:

  • Revision ESS is recommended for sinonasal obstruction from uncontrolled lesions, aiding adhesion and obstruction management (excluding nasal polyposis).
  • Remnants of the middle turbinate and upper choanal arch are valuable surgical landmarks.
  • Preoperative CT scans are crucial for minimizing surgical complications.
